Washingtonpost.com dominates White House News Photographers awards

washingtonpost.com once again has dominated the White House News Photographers Association annual contest, with its video journaliasts winning 28 awards out of 90.

The Video Editor of the Year honor was awarded to washingtonpost.com senior multimedia producer John Poole for his work on several multimedia stories, including ones covering a high school's participation in the inaugural parade, the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian on the Mall, gay marriage in Boston and 10 years of democracy in South Africa.

Poole said it was significant that the Web site was the only online organization to enter competition and that it competed against television stations operating in the Washington area.

Other washingtonpost.com winners include Christina Pino-Marina, Pierre Kattar, Ben de la Cruz, and perennial winner Travis Fox, who won the video editor of the year award in 2002 and 2003. This time, Fox took first place in the short form editing category for "Divided Family," part of a package about an Israeli-built security barrier in the West Bank.
